NewlyWedMan > No spacers. Those are new wheels with 1M offsets. I never looked into the spacers. I really wanted it to look right && needed/wanted the beefier tires in the rear.

The only advice I can give you -- if you're going down the path of 1M wheels...is to really crunch down the calculations and do a little research on it. IIRC, the 1M/M3 rear suspension is shorter in width than the 135's. The rear wheels on my car...even though they are 1M offsets, rub a bit with 295's. I had to come down two tire sizes to eliminate rubbing which I didn't like. There are narrow hubs that you can install that will give you an extra 10mm on each side which should bring everything within spec.
